A pretty unique Companion Module, this is the first party module which is racially segregated… no… no that way, fortunately, I mean it is a module that only uses elves for player characters in large part due to its story which involves Elves of the Feadiel Clan being sent out of the clan lands to discover what is wrong with their Tree of Life.

It’s interesting that this module fleshes out the elves of the Known World (what Mystara was known as) seeing as up until now the setting for BECMI D&D has been pretty slight. It’s also interesting that it is Bruce Heard doing that as he will be instrumental in reimagining and fleshing out this world properly very soon. 

Another uncommon thing about this module is how, due to the racial level limitations of BECMI, it’s the only companion module, at least up until now, which uses characters lvl 8-10 (lvl 10 is the cap for Elves), while Companion adventures are usually for levels 15 to 25. Maybe that’s why this adventure says that you shouldn’t have more than 10 (!) player characters… still it seems like a fun adventure, a bit more story focused than many other BECMI modules, which is always good for variety.
